Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1134990A2] An intelligent-networked telecommunication system avoids redundant billing for telephone transactions in which there is a billing conflict between the Intelligent Network (IN) and another component of the system by its Service Control Point (SCP) creating a service-dependent pseudo Calling Line Identifier (CLI). When a Pseudo CLI look-up table stored in the SCP database indicates that a pseudo CLI is to be created (based upon the Destination Number, DN, or the Service Key, SK), the SCP combines a prefix listed in the table with the Calling Party Number (CgPN) to form a pseudo CLI or create a totally new CLI number string. When the call is connected to the DN, the created pseudo CLI, rather than the original CLI, is transferred to the DN. A pseudo CLI is indicated where the IN is programmed to handle the billing of a particular transaction, and where the instrumentality of the DN (e.g., toll switch or special service platform) is also set up to handle billing. When the toll switch, special service platform, etc., attempts to bill for the transaction (already being billed by the IN) the pseudo CLI prevents it from billing an actual customer since no actual customer will have any of the pseudo CLIs. The service-dependent CLI also indicates to the toll switch, or special service platform, etc., that the current IN service call has already been billed through the IN. <IMAGE>
